I will only download a new firmware if its NOT beta.

 

Could you give us a link?????

 

has it not been fixed in an earlier release already? Beta 1 added 3690.

 

Some nice changes there regarding browsing the menu and customisable enhanced menu combo (took them long enough!). I somehow have a feeling this is going to be the closest we'll get to a GUI redesign this year.

 

All the more reason to get Beta3, tbh, so you can pick out what don't work quite perfectly so you can report to TC and they can fix it for the stable release.

Also, I don't have any hidden folders so I don't know about that, but what problems are you getting? Folder navigation and remembering games seem to be working fine for me so far.

 

Nevermind, found it.

 

Well my earlier post was what I got from others who discovered the beta hours before me & gave me their opinions. In hindsight, there was a lot of small nitpicks & over-exaggeration Now that I tried every bit of it completely, I see the only place I think anyone should complain about is if the GTA fix causes more problems than fixes.

Here's just what I'd have to say as an update from my earlier post:
* Added the ability to customise the enhanced menu button trigger via config.xml
- Nothing wrong here, the complaints I heard were from people who didn't know how to correctly change a text file. Haha.
* After an in-game reset, the last game played will be selected in the game list
- Only 2 times this didn't work, and I didn't look into why b/c it's no big deal. If it doesn't work, it's as though the feature wasn't there so who cares? Just scroll through the list like usual.
* While traversing directories, the position of the selection in parent directories is remembered (instead of the selection... [etc])
- Same as above, nothing so terrible you can't go "Meh" & move on.
* New config.xml options for setting the root directory for the game list, and customising the executable launched when "Media" is selected... [etc]
- No problems. I'm sure people here already know you could do this before, by dragging a .nds file to the moonshl folder & rename it moonshell.nds. Nothing new; maybe more user-friendly.
Statement/complaint about folders no longer being hidden.
- I didn't notice this problem when I first tried it, b/c I hide all my unused folders. Apparently some folders that were auto-hidden before aren't now, so you do it yourself if you want

 

Ah, I didn't notice the Cyclo folder being shown now, since right after I downloaded the firmware I set my home directory to my game directory.

From a quick look at the TC forum, it seems that the experimental GTA support cause some problem that makes the control go a bit sluggish when driving fast. I haven't tried it out myself but if one is planning to play GTA on this firmware they might want to keep it in mind.

 

Awesome! gonna try this one soon

Well they announced it about a year ago and we have yet to see any kind of progress...
